Tangy Low Carb Tartar Sauce

Tangy Low Carb Tartar Sauce

December 10, 2013 by 2 Comments

Who doesn't love a good tartar sauce to go on their favorite fish? I used to be intimidated by making sauces from scratch, until I realized how easy they are to make. One of the things I like about this recipe is that it's a fairly small batch. With my homemade mayo always on hand, it only takes a few minutes to put this together. If you can do it a few hours ahead of time, all the better as it gives the flavors time to meld. makes 1/2 cup The Preparation ½ cup mayonnaise 1 ...

To maintain the health of your brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, immune system, and every other cell in your body, you need to consume an adequate amount of macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients, primarily proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, are needed in large amounts, and you can learn more about them in this article. Keto micronutrients, on the other hand, are required in much smaller quantities (which is why we call them "micronutrients"), but failing to get ...

An extremely tasty dish that was created by MidnightTokr over at Reddit. He describes the dish as very savory, where its characteristic flavor from the five-spice and shitake mushrooms blend nicely with the sweet and saltiness of the soy sauce. He says that the sauce goes great over steamed vegetables, like broccoli, because it will absorb all the flavor. He also enjoys this with cauliflower rice. He also added, which not necessary, he recommends to add the pork back to the sauce after ...

Remember those Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs that I made the other day? Well, I had leftover pork rinds from crushing them up - so I decided that I would make some fried chicken with it. Surprisingly (well, I had my suspicions anyway) it turned out really awesome! It's a great breading for fried chicken, it holds together and sticks, and tastes fantastic. My one quip about this, is to make sure that you don't use a food processor to crush up the pork rinds. I used a rolling pin to ...

Cheesy Cheese Pizza Crust Pizza

Cheesy Cheese Pizza Crust Pizza

I found this recipe on a low carb site and decided to try it out for myself. It looked like it might work, but I definitely had my doubts. I mean a cheese pizza crust made out of cream cheese? Seemed farfetched. In reality? This cheesy cheese pizza crust actually turned out pretty awesome. Granted, when it's hot, it doesn't hold it's form so great. But when you let it cool down and solidify a bit, it makes a great pizza crust! It might be a little bit garlic-y for your taste, so if ...

I've been making a lot of sweets lately, and I am starting to get tired of them. Weird huh? I guess I have no sweet tooth anymore, I much prefer the savory side of things. I wanted to make something different, and stumbled on a recipe for some spicy cookies. Sounded good to me, as I know chocolate and spice can pair up really well together - let's just say these Mexican hot chocolate cookies turned out great. I was really pleased with them, despite my recent grudges with coconut flour. The ...

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

This recipe is very similar to my honey vinaigrette recipe. In fact, I just add the herb mix that I keep on hand to the honey vinaigrette if I already have that keto salad dressing made. Also, like the honey vinaigrette, this recipe develops its flavor over time. For this reason, I recommend you make it a day or two in advance. But like all of the recipes in our condiment section, it's still delicious even without waiting! I figure if I'm going to get all of those herbs out, I might as well ...

This is the first homemade keto salad dressing I ever made. We use it quite a bit at our house. In fact, I never even refrigerate it, because it's usually gone within two weeks time (though I've had it last as long as a month). I mean, if you think about it, all of the ingredients are shelf stable. Why wouldn't they continue to be when mixed together? Also, I use raw honey, which is both antibacterial and antimicrobial. I figure I've got it covered either way. However, you can certainly store ...

I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don't have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad ...
